The Northeast Regional Youth Fellowship (NERYF) held its Spring One Day Conference on April 15, 2017 at St. Thomas MTC, Yonkers. The theme, "Unqualified," was taken from 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 - "God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." Ninety youths from all across the region attended and heard from main speaker Rev. Brady Funn, of the Bethany AME Church in Yonkers.
